He gazed up at the sky, lost in thought, and spoke, "Originally, I have a place, my house has three floors with many empty rooms; you two could stay at my house, but I'm afraid others might gossip. After all, you two single beauties living with me could affect your reputations. Chief Meng has already chosen to live at the village office. Why don't you two join her and live there together?"
Xu Qian immediately looked at Meng Yun with a questioning gaze, but Meng Yun shook her head and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? The conditions here are so poor?"
Xu Qian stood there, lost for words, looking at the two of them, unsure of what to say, since she was a guest and had no right to choose.
She wasn't sure whether Meng Yun was just being polite or genuinely didn't want to live with her.
